Does Clobber=True have meaning? #35

Closed astronomeara closed 3 years ago

astronomeara commented 3 years ago

Unless I understand incorrectly, setting Clobber=True is currently equivalent to saying 're-run the entire pipeline if something changes anywhere'

An example of this would be sky subtraction. If I run the pipeline, realize I want to use a different sky frame, I think clobber=True just means 're-run the pipeline in full'.

Using the term Clobber for re-run in a pipeline construction is a long shot from "to treat harshly" or "to hit hard". Changing Clobber to 'restartPipelineOnChange' .
